“Pot size doesn’t matter — feeding does.”

These trees are still in their development phase, growing in very small pots, but they’re fed consistently with every watering. The results speak for themselves — just look at those candles.

1st pic: Japanese Black Pine in an 11 cm pond basket.
2nd pic: Scots Pine in a 7 cm pot — modified into an air pot using a soldering iron to encourage exponential root growth and better nutrient uptake.
3rd pic: Cork bark elm — grown from a whip to this size in just 5 years.

All of these are container-grown.

Consistent feeding > pot size. 🌱
